INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ A state board that licenses social workers has filed a complaint against an Indianapolis veterans medical center manager who made fun of suicide in an email.
The Indianapolis Star obtained the email sent Dec. 18 by licensed clinical social worker Robin Paul. Photos in the email sent to clinic staff show a toy Christmas elf posing as a patient, pleading for anxiety medication and hanging himself with an electrical cord.
The newspaper reports it's not clear whether the complaint from the state board is tied to the email, but it was filed the same day the newspaper disclosed the email.
Paul was suspended Tuesday from her position at Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
If a violation is found, possible actions against Paul include having her license revoked. She apologized for the email Monday in a statement.
